Baby Naming
A naming ceremony celebrates and welcomes a new family member, helping to confirm a child’s identity, and demonstrating how much he or she is loved by family and friends.
Micro Weddings
As of 28th September 2020 in the United Kingdom micro weddings are no longer the option that they used to be. Smaller weddings - something that falls between an elopement and an intimate wedding - have always been a choice for couples, but due to the current pandemic they are the only type of wedding to be permitted under the latest government regulations.
Currently only 13 guests plus the bride and groom are permitted in the ceremony room. All professionals and those considered to be working do not have to be counted and will be permitted in addition to the guests and wedding couple.
Micro wedding ceremonies, sometimes referred to as mini-monies, are very beautiful. They are heart-warmingly intimate and sincere, and most couples are more relaxed about saying their vows in front of a smaller group of close friends and family than they are with a wider audience of 100 or so guests. It isn't necessary to speak louder than normal to be heard, and guests feel more involved and even more privileged to be amongst the elite few to have been invited to witness the union.
Forced to reduce their guest list significantly couples are finding that they have a larger budget to spend on other wedding-related items, such as magnificent floral focal points and conversation pieces, displays and bouquets, fine dining menus, a more luxurious honeymoon at a later date, or a savings pot for an all-out party once restrictions are lifted.
Micro weddings are a compromise in an age when we are all having to learn to adapt. They give hope; they enable couples to marry, albeit with few guests to witness their loving union, but with the promise of a bigger, unrestricted celebration later. Beautifully worded relaxed and sincere ceremonies, tasteful decorations, exquisite styling, and elegant food and fine wines can still create wonderful memories on which to build a new adventure, which will last a lifetime.
Small is beautiful!
